“French pianist, arranger, composer and conductor, Jean-Michel Defaye (b. 1932) entered the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of ten years old. His successful compositions and arrangements are mainly for brass, In the Style of Schumann, composed in 2000, being no exception. With a typical performance lasting about four and a half minutes, Defaye's In the Style of Schumann is so named due to the composer drawing on compositional techniques of the great Robert Schumann. Defaye's understanding of the Trombone is clear throughout the work, with use of exciting techniques and contrasts. Furthermore, Defaye's passion to explore a variety of preceding composers is clear with In the Style of Schumann being a part of a series which explores the music of many great composers. For all aspiring trombonists wishing to vary and expand their repertoire, In the Style of Schumann by Jean-Michel Defaye is essential.&rdquo.

I've always been fascinated by the depth of expression in the song cycles of Robert Schumann, and have tried, in these two pieces, to emulate that using the trombone. Why the trombone? Well, it has a rich history of being 'paired' with the voice in choral music but, if I'm really honest, as a trumpet player I've always been a little bit envious of the trombone's lyrical elegance. The music, in both of these works, has a lot of 'dialogue' between the trombone and piano, I really did think of them as communicating - only without using words.

Gliere's beautiful character pieces, Six Album Leaves from Op. 51 are from a larger collection of twelve originally written for Cello and Piano in 1911 while the composer was living in Berlin. The composer most likely was inspired by Schumann's versions which were unknown in Russia. The pieces are full of eastern sounding melodies and exploit the singing nature of the Trombone. Mr. Sauer has brilliantly arranged six of these for advanced performers.
